Inside $100M+ family office investments

Episode notes

How do $100M+ family offices really think about AI, startup investing, and generational wealth, and what do founders need to understand BEFORE ever pitching them? In this powerful episode of AI for Business , host Sarah Hajipour sits down with Jimmy Egas - global family office advisor at Presto & Partner - to break down the hidden world of ultra-high-net-worth investors and how they’re shaping the future of AI, capital allocation, and global markets. Jimmy reveals what most founders never hear : Family offices are not VCs. They don’t chase fast returns. They don’t operate on 5 - 7 year cycles. They don’t invest because they “have to deploy.” They invest because of values, legacy, reputation, and long-term strategy. If you’re a founder building in AI, deep tech, energy, cybersecurity, health, wellness, or infrastructure - this episode is your shortcut into the world of private wealth, global influence, and long-horizon investing.
